"World's Best" Cat Litter

Anybody familiar with this?

I'm having a hard time finding an unscented litter that has very little
dust. (I want to stick with scoopable, so I am not interested in the
Feline Pine type.)

They sell it at Petfooddirect.
I've been using this for a few years now. Unlike some others, I don't
notice any funky smell in my boxes. I scoop several times a day and if
either cat uses a box while I'm home (and notice it) I'll scoop that right
away. WBCL comes in two varities, one is "extra strenght" or has something
about multiple cats on the package. The only difference is the "extra
strength" has some perfume added, and I can't stand the way that smells so I
always buy the original.

The first time I put WBCL in the box, Tiger got in and tasted it. The bag
said some cats will do that and there's no harm in it. She was satisfied
after that first taste and never tried to eat any after that.

Do you have any coupon codes for Petfooddirect? I used to order from them a
lot but then switched ISPs/e-mail addresses and couldn't figure out how to
change my e-mail notices to my new address. I'd like to order again but
want at least a 15% discount code before I place an order.

I use Swheat Scoop and it works pretty well. I have used World's Best
but found the Swheat Scoop to work better and less expensive.

See, I found the opposite. I used to use Swheat Scoop but found it
clumped WAY too hard and would stick like glue to the pan (Meep always
uses the edges).

Worlds Best clumps just right. Unfortunately, it's not available here.

What I do is I use one of those big plastic garbage can liners (the 33
gallon ones) and put the litterbox inside the bag, so now in essence
what you have is a litterbox liner (just tie up the ends of the bag)
and then I pour the litter in. I find doing it like this keeps it
from sticking to the bottom. Also, when it's time to change the box,
I just untie the bag and turn it inside out so the dirty litter is all
on the insde. (I hope I explained this clearly. It's kind of hard to
explain it without showing it to you) Funny about Meep using the
edges, my Meesha does the same thing

You a shill for that seller? You seem to be dropping their name quite a
lot.

WBCL is what I use and love. I can buy it at lots of different places.

I'm with you Priscilla, anybody who suggests that they are going to buy a
bag of cat litter via online is definitely shilling or has some other
hidden agenda. Like maybe they work for UPS or some other shipping company.
WBCL is an excellent product which can be purchased locally.

One of the wonderful things about the newsreader I use (Agent) is that it
has the ability to filter out and delete messages from specific posters. I
have added cybercat to the kill filter. I do not want to see or read any
more of this person's posts. I suggest other people do the same.

cybercat has been PLONKED!!!

NO!

Not THAT!

And from such a fine, regular contributor to the group.

I shall never recover from this slight.

Pinching pennies, are we? I love having supplied delivered to my door.

That's right. I work for UPS, World's Best Litter, Fancy Feast, Fed-Ex,
AND the US Postal Service. I'm a busy, busy cat.

And busted. Damn you people are smart.

Guess I'll just slink away now.

Unfortunately the plastic bag thing doesn't work well with Meep. She's
a digger, and shreds plastic bags no matter the thickness. They're good
sieves when she gets through with them.

LOL, well I guess I'm lucky. Even though my cats dig and scratch at
the bag liner, they've never shredded any holes through it. I buy the
heavy duty bags that come on a roll. I don't know if you have this
store near you, but I buy them at Aco Hardware.

Or like maybe she has gotten good products, good pricing and good (or
perhaps even excellent!) customer service from them? I know I have. It's
also convenient as hell, especially for someone like me who lives in an
area where there aren't any stores carrying quality food choices.

When I first tried this litter, I was in love! It was so
lightweight, scooped so beautifully, and smelled like popcorn! But I
had to stop using it while I was fostering some underage babies, because
they were trying to eat it. I put the remainder of the bag into a large
tin can with a lid, put it on a shelf, and forgot all about it. A few
months later, I kept finding these tiny little bugs crawling around on
the shelf where I keep my cat supplies, but I never thought to look in
the big tins, I just thought the bugs might have come from some bird
food or mouse food or something so I tossed all of the seeds and hoped
for the best. One day I went to see what was in all of my tins, opened
the one with the corn litter, and it was FULL of live tiny brownish
black bugs! And the litter barely looked like litter anymore. I
squealed and made my husband take the stuff outside and hose it all
away. Ever since then I'm afraid of using this litter ever again, even
though I really loved it. I guess if you use it up quickly it's safe.
Like flour, it might have some weevil eggs in it somewhere and you just
need to use it before they hatch. Gross!!!
